This book encompasses all areas of art safety from the materials commonly used by artists to the tools and machinery often used to produce artistic creations.

Monona Rossol as an artist and actress herself comes at this issue with the distinct advantage of also having a chemistry educational background.

Well written and easy to understand for laymen!

Workers in the performing arts will find Monona Rossol's Health & Safety Guide for Film, TV & Theater to be a fine assessment of health problems and issues unique to the entertainment industries. From the hazards of theatrical paints and solvents to working with existing health and safety laws both on the job and in the classroom, Health & Safety Guide for Film, TV & Theater is packed with practical advice.

Anyone who sets foot in a darkroom should read this book. A little scary at times, but information you need to be aware of. Especially important for creative workers who often forget about the side effects of the materials they work with.

Sometimes you find a well written exciting book accidentally and reading it is like a gift that you give to yourself. Murder Over Easy is an exciting ride from an experienced writer. In his bio I saw that he was even on Oprah. Marshall Cook is like a cross between Sue Grafton and Elmore Leonard: great stories, great dialogue. This is a book so good that I couldn't put it down.

Mollenhoff and Hamilton have done a great job doing research for this book. The background on how Monona Terrace came to be is fascinating. The people and relationships important in Madison's architecture and politics eventually get discussed in this book. About the only thing you could possibly criticize is the rehash of FLLW biography which doesn't need to appear here. This is a minor criticism, as I realize that for some readers this may be the only FLLW book they own.

The story of Monona Terrace, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and updated by Taliesin Architects (led by Wright apprentice Tony Puttnam) to conform to current code and requirements, here receives the sensitive and perceptive treatment it deserves. The book's many excellent features include clear and graceful writing, beautiful illustrations integrated aptly into the text, and balanced consideration of controversial subjects. The authors' account of the life of Frank Lloyd Wright and their treatment of the political history of Madison provide the context that make the Monona Terrace story so fascinating. This is a valuable book indeed.
